BA (Hons) Youth Work & Community Development

... United Kingdom
... Liverpool Hope University

Course Overview

The BA Youth Work and Community Development offers degree level professional education and training. It is a unique, value-based course underpinned by a commitment to social justice, anti-oppressive practice and empowerment. These values inform teaching, learning, and the development of practice skills, enabling students to develop critical knowledge and understanding of a range of societal issues and problems that impact the lives of young people and the wider community. Topics include, but are not restricted to: social inequalities and social injustice, poverty, discrimination, participation and rights, mental health and wellbeing, safeguarding, social media, environmental justice, and crime and violence.

The course provides opportunities for students to acquire the academic and professional competencies required for becoming innovative and reflective youth and community development workers. It encourages students to be personally, socially and politically engaged with their respective communities and, utilising a ‘strengths-based’ approach to practice, seeks to enable students to foster and create positive social change.

The course provides students with a nationally recognised professional full-time JNC qualification to enable them to develop a career in Youth and Community work.
